"DHS is terrorizing our communities and staging violent spectacles to produce fascist propaganda โ€” and sometimes, for what appears to be purely recreational violence. This is a pivotal moment in the struggle against fascism ... The entire country must raise their voices against this aggression."

The North Pacific heatwave these past few months has been astonishing. Take a look at the bottom of this image. Itโ€™s โ€œaccumulated heat stressโ€ from NOAAโ€™s Coral Reef Watch program. Basically the whole north basin registers Alert Level 5, dark purple. 1/

The fascist do not need pretext to unleash their violence as we have seen, and they have created an unreality state that allows them to act with impunity outside the law.

They will have to go for the entire ball of wax or they all go to prison or worse.They are going to push as hard as they can now

Keep an eye on this judge and their properties it will be very interesting if we get two judges homes being targeted for violence after they go against the fascists attempts to wage war against the civilian population.

And they wonโ€™t because they are waging war against you.

They are invading your state and you should be actively working on deploying your own national guard in an offensive move. Declare a state of emergency and call up your troops to hold them back.

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Mรฉdecins Sans Frontiรจres (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza.  

All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers.  
We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah.  

Our thoughts are with Omarโ€™s family and colleagues at this tragic time.โ€ฏOmar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls. He has demanded ICE turn over the names of all federal officers involved in each incident, and said he is ready to take ICE to court.

Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide).
This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

1/ Judge Immergut just granted a restraining order that prevents Trump's mobilization of the Oregon National Guard in Portland.
IMMERGUT, District Judge.
This case involves the intersection of three of the most fundamental principles in our
constitutional democracy. The first concerns the relationship between the federal government
and the states. The second concerns the relationship between the United States armed forces and
domestic law enforcement. The third concerns the proper role of the judicial branch in ensuring
that the executive branch complies with the laws and limitations imposed by the legislative
branch. Whether we choose to follow what the Constitution mandates with respect to these three
relationships goes to the heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the United States.

Stephen miller is actively calling for a civil war right now on Twitter.

I really do not think Americans are taking in the reality that the federal government is openly admitting to waging war against democratically held cities and states and what comes now that this is being openly said.

On the 1st of October 1965, the US collaborated in initiating a coup against Sukarno, the first president of independent Indonesia. The coup-makers installed a brutal right-wing dictatorship that systematically exterminated up to one million people with the direct support of the CIA.

The American Gestapo is dragging Americans out of bed and handcuffing them with no warrant to try to convince you that brown people are hurting you rather than the truth which is that white male child rapists are selling America for parts to oligarchs and donโ€™t care who gets stomped.

Congratulations, Trump Supporters, You've Owned the Libs Well, Trump Supporters, as a member of the woke radical Left, it kills me to say this, but you win.

Congrats, Trump supporters, youโ€™ve owned the Libsโ€”and all itโ€™s cost you is a functioning government, a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, inexpensive groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing.
